About Susie

My name is Zuzana, but all children call me Susie.

I am the founder of Susie's - helping you with your children since 2014 until now.

I am 38 years old, happy mum of two and also former Nanny & Babysitter thus I have the ability to look at the Nanny - Parent relationship from both angles.

I have pedagogical trainings from college in the United Kingdom as well as from the Czech Republic from Preschool education and Early Years Childcare. 

Spending almost 8 years in England, I used my time there to study both my college and University degree there. While studying (on Leeds Metropolitan University), I was gaining loads of working experience from variety of public and private schools on days when I was off from Uni, when I worked for 3 years for an agency (Randstad Education) providing Supply teachers in schools).

This experience gave me a large overview of different teaching techniques, different backgrounds of children and different approaches from the teachers. Before coming back to Czech, I then also worked in private creches, kids-clubs (for example Virgin Active V-club) and later too managing one after-school clubs myself, still in England. 

And then friend of mine persuaded me to move with her to Austrian Alps, where we worked one whole season as Holiday Nannies in Lech am Alberg, looking after children under the age of 3, who could not ski yet. This was a fantastic experience (not just for the skiing part ☺️) as again I have the opportunity to get to know different children every week, but now from Nanny's perspective and gained again completely new experiences for me.

When I was 28, I felt I am missing my home country and family too much so I came back to Czech and settled down in Prague.

First two years in Prague I have worked in Parklane International School in a Nursery class and it would not be me, if I would settle down for just one job :D.  So while working there I decided to start my own babysitting agency - Susie's Babysitting.

I began at first just as very small business working just on my own. But soon my reputation grown and people started recommending my service to eachother, so I quicky needed to find other babysitters to help me fulfill the demand of parents.

Thus my career, as. "babysitting organiser" and nanny searching provider began and it just growths ever since.
 Nowdays I am actually experiencing quite an expansion, as, after 5 years break on my maternity leave, I started to "function" again in January 2023.

Our business is lately changing and growing a lot, and I am excited that perhaps YOU will also maybe become one of our customers too!
